About The Festival

Lightning in a Bottle (LIB) is an annual music festival in the Central Valley region of California. It was first held in 2004. It is presented by The Do LaB, which seeks to promote sustainability, social cohesion, and creative expression. The festival features music performances, guest speakers, visual and interactive art installations, yoga classes, and group meditation and other attractions.

Lightning in a Bottle took their name from a friend’s small annual private birthday party from 2000 to 2003, the birthday celebration recurred each July as a friends only, private event. In 2004, the event’s co-founders and producers, who call themselves The Do LaB, hosted Lightning in a Bottle at Gold Creek Ranch in the Angeles National Forest. After a one-year hiatus, the festival was hosted at Live Oak Camp in Santa Barbara from 2006 to 2008. After the eighth festival, The Do LaB relocated Lightning in a Bottle to accommodate the increasing attendance.

The festival did not take place in 2020 or 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lightning in a Bottle restarted in 2022, staying at the Buena Vista Aquatic Recreation Area.
